The Buzz

We have Madonna to thank for one of the most epic awards show bloopers in recent memory. During her performance at the Brit Awards yesterday, the singer, clad in a supremely long Armani cape, fell backwards down a flight of stairs. It was certainly one of the most buzzed-about moments of the entire show, so of course, Madge had to come out to explain the details behind her tumble.

The singer took to Instagram to let her fans know what went wrong during the performance. “My beautiful cape was tied too tight,” she wrote. “But nothing can stop me and love really lifted me up!”

Madonna’s in good company, though. Beyoncé and Lady Gaga have each tumbled publicly. Heck, even Jennifer Lawrence took a spill when she made her way to the stage to accept her Oscar in 2013. So it seems like falling is just part of being a boss chick.

The Australian actress tried to mix up her much-loved colour palette with exciting fabrics and textures for the LA premiere of Focus at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Tuesday, February 24, but, unfortunately, we feel like it was all a bit much.

The sheer-black Giambattista Valli Fall 2014 Couture gown featured a contrasting-white waistband and feathered neckline, and could’ve looked a lot cleaner if just one white element has been removed. The slicked back piece of hair also came across as a little punk-rock, which was off the mark considering her gown was so elegant.

Andreja Pejic has made her first runway appearance since undergoing gender-transition surgery last year, walking for Giles Deacon’s Fall 2015 show at London Fashion Week. No words can express our excitement!

“It feels amazing to be making my runway debut for one of my favorite British designers #Giles Thank you to @kegrand and @guineapiggiles #thereturn #LFW,” Andreja wrote to Instagram. The Bosnian-born Australian model walked alongside the likes of Kendall Jenner, Jessica Stam and Lily Donaldson as part of her major comeback. (more…)

NARS founder François Nars and famed fashion photographer Steven Klein are bringing edginess to the holidays this year with a new makeup collaboration. Today, NARS confirmed the beauty world’s speculation regarding this unique pairing to create a collection that everyone will be coveting.

“Steven is one of the most disruptive, fearless photographers of his time. I love his work – his ability to strip down and expose his subjects, to create shocking visual narratives that are never what they seem,” says François Nars in a statement. The range, which will feature 23 limited-edition products, will showcase new packaging and evoke an edgy, provocative vibe.

“There are few hands that could do what François has done. He has impeccable taste and stands strong by his work. His colors and his eye for imagery is unique and of the highest caliber,” says Klein. The duo partnered with creative director Fabien Baron of Baron & Baron to bring the collection to life, which is set to make its debut in November.

Over the past few years, the photographer’s reputation has been tarnished by claims of sexual abuse from several young models, so it feels more than a little icky to know that Richardson is still at it, photographing naked women in provocative positions.

Richardson went through a bit of a dry spell for a while, as magazines and brands began to distance themselves from the troubled shutterbug. After a bit of a hiatus, however, longtime supporter Harper’s Bazaar released a Richardson-shot cover for February 2015.
